Uncommon Splanchnic Artery Aneurysms: Pancreaticoduodenal, Gastroduodenal, Superior Mesenteric, Inferior Mesenteric, and Colic

Ruptured Pancreaticoduodenal Artery Aneurysm Associated with Median Arcuate Ligament Compression and Aortic Dissection Successfully Treated with Embolotherapy

“…PDA aneurysms account for 2% of all visceral artery aneurysms, 6) and are often accompanied by pancreatitis, trauma including surgery, and occlusion or stenosis of the celiac artery due to arteriosclerosis or MAL compression. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Segmental arterial mediolysis also causes PDA aneurysms.…”

Left gastric artery pseudoaneurysm as a sequelae of chronic pancreatitis: recognizing a life-threatening complication

“…The incidence of intra-abdominal visceral pseudoaneurysms is rare and has been reported to be less than 1% in postmortem studies [1,2]. They occur most commonly in the splenic artery (60%), hepatic artery (20%), superior mesenteric artery (5%), and celiac trunk (4%) [1,2].…”

“…They occur most commonly in the splenic artery (60%), hepatic artery (20%), superior mesenteric artery (5%), and celiac trunk (4%) [1,2]. Left gastric artery pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare.…”

“…Visceral aneurysms occurring in patients with chronic pancreatitis are associated with significant mobidity and mortality [1][2][3]. The signs and symptoms of aneurysms can often be non-specific, and early recognition is critical to prevent catastrophic bleeding [1][2][3].…”

“…The signs and symptoms of aneurysms can often be non-specific, and early recognition is critical to prevent catastrophic bleeding [1][2][3]. We report a rare case of left gastric artery pseudoaneurysm in a middle aged male who presented with severe abdominal pain initially thought to be due to acute pancreatitis.…”
